PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Psychic Attacker:Confusion Psychic *

Even though it is an extreme glass cannon, Shadow Alakazam boasts one of the highest Psychic-type damage output in Pokémon GO, beaten only by Mega and Shadow Mewtwo, and Mega Alakazam.

In fact, its DPS is marginally higher than regular Psystrike Mewtwo. Dodging is compulsory when using Shadow Alakazam in ⚔️ Raids, but keep in mind that Mega Alakazam is overall significantly better, with better bulk and around 9% more damage. So given a choice, Mega Alakazam is the stronger option not just for the viability but also the cost of powering up.

And needless to say, none in the Alakazam family should have anything even remotely to do with 🛡️ Gym defense. They are all just so flimsy!

PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Great League:Psycho Cut Fire Punch Shadow Ball
Ultra League:Psycho Cut Fire Punch Shadow Ball
Master League:Psycho Cut Fire Punch Shadow Ball

🔵 Great League

Despite the concerning bulk, Shadow Alakazam is quite good in the Great League meta thanks to a hyper fast moveset which also packs a punch in terms of damage. Powerful foes like Jellicent, Shelgon, Empoleon (both regular and Shadow), Shadow Forretress, and Fearow all bow down to Shadow Alakazam’s high-octane and quick damage, making this glass cannon a surprisingly efficient pick for your team. Of course, there are better Psychic options like Grumpig and Cresselia, but this one doesn't disappoint! Moreover, the Shadow is a straight upgrade to the regular variant.

🟡 Ultra League

Shadow Alakazam once again manages to hold its own, this time being better than ever in the Ultra League. It beats Giratina Altered, Gourgeist Super, Shadow Empoleon, Shadow Feraligatr, Talonflame, Drifblim, Ampharos, and Shadow Scizor, apart from causing a lot of havoc via shield baiting and/or heavy HP loss for the opponent.

Its flurry of moves and ability to fit in any role, be it lead or closer, make Shadow Alakazam quite an asset for your GBL team. It may not possess an incredible win rate but it does torment the opposition more than you would usually expect, often paving the way to victory for your team. You may need some experience to get a hang of it, but once you do, Shadow Alakazam is a legit match-winner on PvP! 🙌

🟣 Master League

The Master League and its inhabitants prove to be too much of a task for Shadow Alakazam. Keep it for the Ultra League (maybe even the Great League) if you're looking to use it in PvP.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Shadow Alakazam, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
